After the Monday morning murder alert in Groß-Enzersdorf in the Weinviertel – a seriously ill 80-year-old may have shot his wife (83) and then convicted himself – further investigations are in full swing. According to researchers, the background must mainly be a precarious care situation.
Dora (83) and Helmut H. realized their dream of owning their own house on the Mariensee 40 years ago. Happiness seemed perfect.
Woman sat in a wheelchair
But ten years later, the woman became seriously ill and was soon able to move around on her own in a wheelchair. Helmut H. took care of her and literally carried his great love on his hands.
Diagnosis: lung cancer
According to information from “Krone,” the former IT technician was diagnosed with a devastating diagnosis of lung cancer last week. Probably out of fear that no one would take care of his wife anymore, he took her from life and ended his own life in one fell swoop.
At around 11 a.m., the police finally got a distress call: “I shot my wife!” said H. on the other end of the line, announcing that he would also commit suicide. The 80-year-old had holed up in the house in the idyllic settlement on Lake Mariensee.
The police were immediately on the spot with a large contingent of emergency services. The Cobra left, and so did the negotiating group. But there was nothing left to negotiate. When agents of the elite unit stormed the family home, they found only two dead.
